Underrated plugin (Essentials version)
Based on the reviews I've seen on here, it appears Verve is getting alot of bad press and I think it's painting an inaccurate picture of how useful this plugin is.
I've seen that most complaints are to do with lack of a wet/dry mix knob and also a lack of control in general. Both these factors are true and are fair comments. However, lack of a mix knob can be compensated for by placing this plugin on a send/return track in your DAW - or you could even duplicate the instrument track you wish to use it on, place Verve on the duplicate and then blend the two using the faders on your mixer. So this isn't the end of the world.
As far as a lack of tweak-ability goes, I completely agree... but we need to understand what UA were going for when they created this plugin. Clearly, the plugin is designed to be simple and streamlined in terms of usage and interface; each machine in Verve is essentially the same as having a list of presets to flick through until you get the flavor you want. They've gone for speed and convenience over complexity and the ability to customise the sound. So I guess you just have to ask yourself, is that what you want?
Most importantly, don't let the above factors get in the way of the QUALITY of the plugin - i.e. the quality of the sound it creates, or rather how well it affects the sound source you are using it on. Tonally, this machine sounds absolutely fantastic, it is absolute quality and whoever made it at UA did an awesome job... As 'Manipulators of sound' surely that is the most important aspect to us, right?
The quality is as such that, although the interface is simple and streamlined, there is obviously alot going on under the hood of this thing that we can't see.
Bottom line: Verve sounds great and is extremely useful. Additionally, the kind folks at UA are giving the Essentials version of this baby away for free until April 30th - companies rarely do that - and so what have you got to lose? Ignore all the naysayers and try it for yourself, I can pretty much guarantee you will find it useful for something!
Thanks UA for an awesome, free product of top quality. You have my full support!

Fast and Sounds Great
Bought the full version. It's super fast to dial in great sounding saturation and color. The plugin does what it says and sounds great.

GRACIAS POR EL OBSEQUIO!
TENGO MUCHOS SONIDOS Y JUEGO CON ELLOS CON RESULTADOS MUY AGRADABLES, EXCELENTE COMPAÑERO DE CREATIVIDAD

Not worth it due to licensing issues.
Sounds decent, but other less hassling software can create these sounds in the box. An internet connection is required to load the plugin in an operating state, which causes problems for airgapped workstations. This is a major security concern and these plugins should be avoided.

best sound
The bass is thick and the muddiness is eliminated. The high temperature makes it sparkle brightly. wonderful.
K. LIN
Excelent!
This should be one of the closest to the original sound, there might be some differences that make it better in other aspects, but it's also about the subtle differences

Just Wooow!
I make guitar pop and this library is such a wonderful addition to my sound pallet. The warmth and sweetness of this emulation is off the scale. And don't get me even started on the realistic sound and spatial depth! I was working on a song that needed some electric keys for days before I demoed the Electra 88. The third preset I loaded was a direct hit. Completely what the song needed and then some! If I were to own a real Electra 88, I don't think I would be able to make it sound this good. Just blown away

Good - Fun Distortion/Audio degradation Tool, needs update
This plugin is a lot of fun, and I’ve gotten some cool sounds from it, but I agree with a few other people here that this plugin needs a mix knob. While there other ways/workarounds this should be default in my opinion.

Great Synth, but...
Not usable for live performance, because you need an active Wifi-connection. Ridiculous!

I have the essentials version, not much value added
While I am only using the essentials version, I can say there is not much value added here if you already own all of the real UA plugins. This is a light weight toy for people just getting started I think.

Amazing warmth, what a sound
I had my eyes on it for a while. Now I had the chance to buy it for €28 during a sale. I love it, especially for that price!

Suena con calidad apenas se insterta
Este Pre suena igual al hardware, es ideal para voces, guitarras acústicas.
Pude comparar el físico que lo tiene un amigo y este plugin suena igual.
Felicitaciones Universal Audio .
No llega a las 5 estrellas porque se tendrían que haber esmerado mas en la imagen del plugin.

The Realest B3 Organ On The Market
This B3 Waterfall Organ Is The Exact Emulation Of The 1958 Hammond B3 Just Amazing Sound Quality.Check It Out For Yourself Peace.
.
it's nice but..
I wish in future updates there will be more options to mix some of the effects instead of using just one each time.
it's a great start but missing many basic features the would make it from "great" to "amazing must have plugin!".

Why?
Hype, what's fashionable. Funny how so many 'one knob' plugins appear at the same time. Someone on this review said it adds Great warmth. Obviously needs to visit an audiologist. 3d interfaces are so easy to design now so the illusion of what's really happening is only that. If it looks good it must sound good. But close ur eyes, train yourself to listen and understand. It soon becomes clear these are nothing more than a $20 Behringer distortion pedal.. Put that on your mix.

Great tool. Adds more detail and punch to the sound.
J. Gooch
Great Ambience Reverb. Sounds like great records
Using this through UAD spark has been a treat. I was originally confused by the layout but a YouTube video quickly helped me out and now my drums, vox, guitars, and bass sound way more alive and more like a record without much fuss. Only complaint is that I appear to be affected by the CPU bug spike as well. Really hope this gets fixed soon as I’d love to use this as a new go to reverb but can’t at the moment due to this issue. Well done though overall!
